Vegan Christmas Lambrini Gummy Bears Recipe

Ever tried boozy gummy bears? They are your usual gummy bears but made with… booze, you got it! Now that I have your attention, back to this blog post! November has started so I can spam you with Christmas content without any guilt! Count is down, Christmas is in just seven weeks. Let’s start practicing our baking skills before the big day, shall we? I am just saying that because it took me a few times before mastering the art of making Lambrini gummy bears!

They sound so easy to make – and they are, it is just me who, when changing gelatin with the vegan alternative, did not change the quantity and ended up with some sticky mess. Any recipe saying 50g of gelatin will use just 2 tablespoons of Agar power instead, just so you know!

Back to our Lambrini gummy bears recipe! It is boozy (obv! and yeah!), it is delicious and… it is vegan! So that everyone can enjoy the fruit of your hard labour in the kitchen! This recipe makes for a lot of gummy bears but you can reduce the quantity of course! Also, I choose Lambrini because it is the cheapest sparkling wine on the market (€2 or £1.5) while still being good, but you can use any other wine!

Method
1. Put molds in the freezer for 10 minutes.
2. Whisk together the Lambrini, sugar and agar power in a saucepan over medium heat and stir until sugar and agar powder are fully dissolved.
3. Bring to a simmer while whisking, then let simmer for 3 minutes.
4. Remove from the stove and let cool for a few minutes.
5. Remove molds from the freezer and fill molds with the mixture.
6. Put in the freezer for 10 minutes.
7. Remove from the freezer and gummy bears from the mold.
8. Eat gummy bears on their own or let soak in a glass of Lambrini. Keep in the fridge for a few days.

Have you ever tried boozy gummy bears? Or attempted to make them yourself? What do you think of this recipe? Will you try it? What Christmas recipe would like to see on the blog?

OOOH This made me excited and I will be trying this out.I don’t know why I never thought of this.Gummy bears in booze will be on the menu this Christmas. I will just have to hide them very far from my boys.

This is such a fun and unique idea! I haven’t drank Lambrini since I was a teenager but I can still remember the taste now. These would be perfect as little stocking fillers or treats at Christmas parties. Thank you for sharing the recipe and wow, your photos are amazing! <3 xx

Oh my word I’m stunned as when I first started reading the post I thought you were reviewing the bears not MAKING them and I’m so so impressed! Dying to try making them myself now 🙂 x x

Although I don’t drink, I think with a sparkling juice substitute for the wine these could still be really nice! Thanks for sharing this recipe, I’m trying to incorporate more vegan treats into my diet so this is so cool and unique.

Hey I love this idea! Do you know where to get the moulds from or can I just use normal ice cube trays? When do you put the gummy bears in the moulds?? Sorry but i couldn’t see this in your recipe!
Thanks Corinne! xo

Oooh, these look so delicious! I’ve never tried to make gummy bears but I have made alcoholic jelly shots rather too many times, haha. I think your recipe is a much better one though, I might have to try it this Christmas 🙂 x

This is such an amazing idea. Someone got my mum some prosecco gummy bears last Christmas but they weren’t vegan and I was gutted that I couldn’t try them. I’m making some of these for sure, such cute party favours x

Wow, oh yes please! Lambrini Gummy Bears, how can anyone don’t like this? This is going to be perfect for the upcoming Christmas season. I’m going to try this out and prank my friend on her birthday, this is going to be hilarious. Perfect!
